        Jason’s penis can’t do that. It’s too British. 😉

        (Jason is very British in the earlier webcomics. Dunno if that’s been mentioned in DoA yet.)

            I would also like to make it clear, the British penis is perfectly adept at helping young ladies with their maths problems should the need arise.

      That’s not math, that’s science. There’s no reason for Christian fundamentalist homeschooling kids to be bad at math, or any other subject not related to evolution, the age of the Earth, or other trigger subjects, and the sort of parents who care enough to homeschool probably raise your chances of getting a good education in general. For that matter, from what I’ve seen of materials, such a kid might well know more biological facts than average… presented of course in a framework of “the glory of God’s Creation” rather than “and this is how evolution makes it all make sense.”

      Reading, writing, ‘rithmetic — no reason for Joyce to be flawed in any of them. Or chemistry, or physics outside astronomy and radiodating, or knowledge of living species. Evolution and history of the US, those are other matters…

      I think it’s less Sal not liking Joyce, more Sal trying to mask her utter apathy towards her math class.

      She knows Joyce means well, but she doesn’t want to run the risk of Joyce trying to save her grades by admitting she doesn’t much care. And Joyce does come off as sort of a buttinski.

    Joyce could honestly make for an interesting sort of horror movie villain. Sure, the conventional killers are always a good stand-by, but there would be something to be said about a horror villain character who is constantly happy, will follow you around 24/7, and who will either try to convert you into believing in Jesus or force you into marrying her. It’d be kinda like the Stepford Wives meets Single White Female.
